Overview
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR
SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER
CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING
FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS
AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1
INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND
ANY SURFACE. KICKER PRODUCTS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOUND
LEVELS THAT CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! TURNING UP A
SYSTEM TO A LEVEL THAT HAS AUDIBLE DISTORTION IS MORE DAMAGING
TO YOUR EARS THAN LISTENING TO AN UNDISTORTED SYSTEM AT THE
SAME VOLUME LEVEL. THE THRESHOLD OF PAIN IS ALWAYS AN INDICATOR
THAT THE SOUND LEVEL IS TOO LOUD AND MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE
YOUR HEARING. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE WHEN CONTROLLING
VOLUME.
TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH FROM FORWARD
MOVEMENT OF THE ENCLOSURE DURING ABRUPT STOPS OR ACCIDENTS,
THE ENCLOSURE MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND SECURELY
FASTENED TO YOUR VEHICLE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
SECURELY FASTENING THE ENCLOSURE IN YOUR VEHICLE. MAKE SURE
THE MOUNTING SCREWS WILL NOT PUNCTURE THE GAS TANK/BRAKE
LINES/WIRING OR INTERFERE WITH ANY MECHANICAL PARTS ON THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE MOUNTING SURFACE.
The KXMARLC features 2 channel input and 8
channel output (4 stereo zones), providing the
functionality of a line driver with the abilities of a
remote zone volume controller. This means the
output signal has double the input voltage, and is
hot, clean and ready for any device. The KXMARLC
can be mounted to the top or bottom of a surface,
or mounted flush with a surface such as in your
boat’s cockpit. KICKER’s audiophile marine line of
acoustic and electronic products require the absolute
best in accessories and materials and are made
with toughness in mind, so you can mount them in
your boat or in any application where your music is
exposed to the elements. Use this zone controller
with any of our KICKER amplifiers for total control of
your sound system with the highest signal clarity!

Mounting
Choose a structurally sound location to mount your
KXMARLC. Make sure the mounting screws will
not puncture gas tank/brake lines/wiring or interfere
with any mechanical parts on the underside of the
mounting surface. A flat surface is required.
Mount the KXMARLC Processing Unit in a location
that is convenient for wiring to and from your
audio source and amplifiere(s). Do NOT mount the
Processor Unit or Remote Volume Controller in a
location where it is exposed to direct spray or splash.
Mount the KXMARLC Remote Unit against a surface
such as under a dash, or in a cut-out that is flush.
Flush Mounting Cutout Dimensions:
H: 25mm, W: 178mm, D: 62mm
Attach the mounting brackets to the KXMARLC
Remote Unit in a Flush Mounting Configuration.
Secure the KXMARLC Remote Unit to the flush
mounting surface.

10English
Mount the KXMARLC to a surface, either above or
underneath depending on the configuration of the
mounting brackets.
If the supplied mounting hardware is not applicable
to your installation, some other means of securely
attaching the Processor & Remote Units must be
used.

Warranty
When purchased from an Authorized KICKER Dealer, KICKER
warrants this product to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from
date of original purchase with receipt. If this product is identified as
“Refurbished” or “B Goods”, the warranty is limited to a period of
THREE (3) MONTHS from the date of original purchase. In all cases
you must have the original receipt. Should service be necessary
under this warranty for any reason due to manufacturing defect
or malfunction during the warranty period, KICKER will repair or
replace (at its discretion) the defective merchandise with equivalent
merchandise. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches
and blemishes. Discontinued products may be replaced with more
current equivalent products. This warranty is valid only for the original
purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent
to the original purchaser. Any applicable implied warranties are limited
in duration to a period of the express warranty as provided herein
beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no
warranties, whether express or implied, shall apply to this product
thereafter. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties;
therefore, these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights; however you may have other rights that vary
from state to state.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE:
Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized
Stillwater Designs (KICKER) Dealer for warranty service. Assistance
in locating an Authorized Dealer can be found at www.KICKER.com
or by contacting Stillwater Designs directly. You can confirm that
a dealer is authorized by asking to see a current authorized dealer
window decal.
If it becomes necessary for you to return defective merchandise
directly to Stillwater Designs (KICKER), call the KICKER Customer
Service Department at [phone] for a Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) number. Package only the defective items in a
package that will prevent shipping damage, and return to:
Stillwater Designs
3100 North Husband St
Stillwater, OK 74075

12English
The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the
package. Please return only defective components. The return
of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-
defective items will be returned freight-collect to you. For example,
if a subwoofer is defective, only return the defective subwoofer, not
the entire enclosure. Include a copy of the original receipt with the
purchase date clearly visible, and a “proof-of-purchase” statement
listing the Customer’s name, Dealer’s name and invoice number, and
product purchased. Warranty expiration on items without proof-of-
purchase will be determined from the type of sale and manufacturing
date code. Freight must be prepaid; items sent freight-collect, or
Cash-On-Demand, will be refused.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty is valid only if the product is used for the purpose for
which it was designed. It does not cover:
o Damage due to improper installation
o Subsequent damage to other components
o Damage caused by exposure to moisture, excessive heat,
chemical cleaners, and/or UV radiation
o Damage through negligence, misuse, accident or abuse. Repeated
returns for the same damage may be considered abuse
o Any cost or expense related to the removal or reinstallation of
product
o Speakers damaged due to amplifier clipping or distortion
o Items previously repaired or modified by any unauthorized repair
facility
o Return shipping on non-defective items
o Products with tampered or missing barcode labels
o Products with tampered or missing serial numbers
o Products returned without a Return Merchandise Authorization
(RMA) number
o Products purchased from an UNAUTHORIZED dealer

o The cost of shipping product to KICKER
o Service performed by anyone other than KICKER
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
KICKER strives to maintain a goal of one week turnaround for all
electronics (amplifiers, crossovers, equalizers, etc.) & acoustic
returns. Delays may be incurred if lack of replacement inventory or
parts is encountered. Failure to follow these steps may void your
warranty. Any questions can be directed to the KICKER Customer
Service Department at [phone]. Contact your International
KICKER dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your
country’s warranty policies.
